    Upgrade Time...on a $500 Budget

    Wow...thank you all for such quick and detailed replies! I have done some reading in regards to PCI 2.0 x8 vs x16 and figured the 4% increase isn't worth the extra money for a x38 and especially a x48. I will be going with the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3. It has great reviews and overclocking...

    Upgrade Time...on a $500 Budget

    I was recently given a VisionTek ATI Radeon 4850 video card by my friend (recipient of his upgrade hand-me downs). Since the card was given to me I figured it was the push I needed to finally upgrade my old system. I am planning on reusing as many components from my old system as possible. My...

    best CPU/MOBO combo for bout $100-$150?

    I am running a E6300 w/this board and it has worked flawlessly for me! The $241 i spent to upgrade was all worth it for me since I got to keep my 6800GT and 2GB of DDR400.

    1080p going to shaft us "early adopters"?

    I don't think so... I am in the US Air Force and bought a 4:3 Hitachi 51" Multi-system Ultravision HDTV in 2003. Its almost 2007 and I enjoy my HD package via Time warner just fine. My screen is 4:3 so I watch most HDTV broadcasts just like I do my DVD's. With black bars on top/bottom...

    Looking for some new gaming headphones

    Ahh... well the mic on the 5H v2's tucks away when not in use. Also, it comes with a USB sound card but you don't have to use it. I myself plug them directly into my Audigy 2 ZS. (saving for a X-Fi Gamer card).

    How many people retuned Gateway FPD2185W?

    I bought the 21" Gateway when it first came out. I returned it 3 times with no hassle from the Gateway Customer Support. The reason I returned it was not for the "buzzing" sound you have but some bad back light bleed (x pattern). Turned out 4th monitor was a charm for me. No back...

    Gateway's FPD2185W: a 21in widescreen 2005fpw killer!

    I guess I have been fortunate in the fact that I have had nothing but good experiences with Gateway Tech Support. My first monitor had dead pixels in the middle of the screen but perfect black levels. The replacement they sent had no dead pixels but horrible backlight bleeding. My third...

    Gateway's FPD2185W: a 21in widescreen 2005fpw killer!

    Sometimes retailers use different names for the same product to distinguish between US and worldwide models. I learned this as I was stationed overseas for 5 years and would buy products that were the same "make" as US models but had slightly different product numbers. Also, I finally...
